Chapter 71 Team Competition
From high morale to pupils shaking, all it takes is a stack of advanced teleportation talismans.
After hearing the answer of agreement, before they could even jump for joy, the eliminated contestants all widened their eyes at the same time, staring blankly at the thick stack of talisman paper, as if they were seeing a small mountain of banknotes.
Ah, is this an item that can be distributed at will?
No, it should be, can you actually buy a large stack of items directly? Why does it look like a worthless bargain in his hands?
They glanced at the side secretly and saw an old man looking at Bai Zhou in shock, totally unexpected for such action... So the government didn't know about it? ! Who is the background of this new young man? ?
No matter which angle you look at it from, it's terrifying.
Something has changed invisibly.
The eliminated candidate who was pointed out by Bai Zhou stepped forward obediently, took the talisman paper handed over by the other party with both hands reverently, quickly returned to his original position, and carefully rubbed it with his fingers, feeling the rough touch with a sacred look on his face.
Who cares? He’s a good guy anyway! Now not only can I join the battle but I also have an extra life. If I perform well next time, won’t I be able to get a high-level talisman for free?
This moment is just like that moment.
Regardless of whether they are able to purchase it or have no chance to get access to it, as long as they have obtained the talisman, they will be like a conquerable character in the game, with the "Favorability +100" sign appearing above their heads.
Time was running out. After distributing the life-saving talismans, the eliminated candidates and employees held their breath and entered the illusion world in an □□ manner. They were airdropped to the safe zone by the sweaty illusionist.
There are cultists wandering around, the scene in front is a mess, and there is a raging black fog that needs to be avoided. It is truly a heaven-chosen battle site.
The employees had received rigorous training and were armed with a long, shiny white weapon of novel and unique design with a spike on the tip. The eliminated candidates looked at it again and again but still couldn't figure out how to use it.
"You stay here to support the players. Don't be too greedy and don't get too close to those monsters. There are still some remaining players on the field. Those who are quick should split up and look for them and take them out."
"You are now authorized to do so. Just break the badge."
The cultists in front who noticed the arrival of the superpowers ran over with wild laughter. The employees quickly gave instructions and rushed forward waving their weapons.
The eliminated contestants nodded vigorously and dispersed in twos and threes, paying attention to the movements around them, keeping their eyes fixed on the fight not far away, trying to obtain any available information.
Bai Zhou did not agree to let all the eliminated candidates join. He just arbitrarily selected a dozen people, and the rest stayed in the room waiting for instructions.
In the illusion, a blood moon was hanging high in the sky, and the ominous red light shone on them, making the chaotic black fog look like hell. Their companions were trapped in that small space, with no idea of their situation.
Large tracts of trees were cut in half, which improved visibility in the dark, which was the only good thing left.
"Those with speed abilities will split up to look for contestants. For the time being, the ranged and support abilities will watch the staff's methods. These cultists are different from ordinary people."
A young man’s elegant voice sounded from the assigned headset. He accurately pointed out the names of several people and distributed the tasks evenly.
Without further ado, without any thought, the eliminated candidates set off immediately. Soon, only a few psychics were left on the scene to provide support.
The display screens in the auditorium were turned off early, except for the one in the government hall which was still on. In reality, Bai Zhou threw down the headset and looked back.
On the table was a mana-replenishing potion that had been prepared in advance, which ensured that the psychics would suffer losses today.
The eliminated contestants who were not selected stayed quietly aside, while the space ability users concentrated and frowned, trying to locate themselves precisely. The magnetic field in the black fog was chaotic, and they had to be captured at the critical moment, otherwise all efforts would be in vain.
Found it!
In that delicate moment, the battle-hardened psychic's brows relaxed, and with her experience and intuition, she immediately captured and teleported the people in that small area to the corresponding locations.
In the illusion, a contestant fell from the air and was caught steadily.
The eliminated candidate took a quick check and breathed a sigh of relief. Apart from being dirty, he was in good spirits and physical condition.
One person held the badge and gently bent it, and the iron-hard material broke easily. The next second, the carrier dissipated like a firefly and dissolved into this illusion.
In reality, the corresponding badge also cracked, and even the surface became dull. As his consciousness returned to his body, the contestant was freed from the nightmare and fell into a peaceful sleep.
“That’s how you get out successfully.”
Putting the broken badge in their pockets, they looked at each other with a smile.
But is it that easy?
The first contestant was just the beginning. Soon, people fell from the sky one after another, like dumplings. Several people changed their faces and hurriedly rushed left and right, fearing that some people were not injured in the black fog but fell down when they came out.
For a moment, the sound of badges breaking could be heard one after another.
——
For the affirmative side, things are moving in the right direction.
Naturally, for the cult, the current situation is somewhat out of control.
In the silent room, the eyes hidden in the crowd quietly raised up, staring at the companion who was at a disadvantage on the screen, feeling ridiculous in their hearts.
This is all too ridiculous.
The strings in his head tightened as he saw the unprecedented weapon. Even through the screen, he could feel the unfriendly aura, and the white light burned his skin as it was swung. The employees cooperated well and even deliberately fought at a distance.
The broken parts of the badge on the tray were like nails driving into his spine, irritating his nerves. Outside the door, the contestants were rolled onto the wheels and placed in the lounge.
When exactly is it? Does a badge have such a function? Why are their actions so orderly, as if... they had been rehearsed in advance?
The man's eyes were bloodshot, and his nails under his sleeves almost pierced his flesh, but just barely stopped.
The original good situation is gone. Not far away, the senior executives are watching the situation with their arms folded, their faces calm, without any of the ridiculous look of shouting and blaming others at the beginning. So hateful, so disgusting.
A terrifying thought emerged. Even though it was unacceptable, it grew stronger and stronger, just like the black fog, spreading wildly in the chest.
Could it be that the smoke bomb that confused the vision was thrown at the very beginning, and the trap was tightened without anyone noticing, and now that the prey is trapped, there is no need to continue acting?
Is there an undercover agent? Who leaked the news? How else to explain the situation that is out of control?
Is it him? Or her?
The man moved his eyes nervously, his cold gaze wandering over each person's face, yet he felt disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that someone would do such a stupid thing. Those facial features that were familiar to him before became distorted.
But in the end, his eyes did not stop on any of his acquaintances, and he even subconsciously did not dare to look up, but only stared at the hand that was playing with the badge.
The only variable in the plan, a young man named "Daytime", who had never appeared in the intelligence.
The dagger caused a huge storm as soon as it came out, and they were included in it. Unfortunately, the government hid it too well, and no one knew where they put it. They were just waiting to take it away openly after everything was over.
This alone can be attributed to this person's good luck. With a unique supernatural item, he is certainly qualified to be treated as a guest of honor.
But is this really the case?
If he was really just a guest of honor, how could he have such high authority that even the top management had to get the young man's consent before allowing the proposal of the eliminated person.
All those unnoticed details emerged at this moment: the first inexplicable interview, the second pat on the shoulder with a smile, and this time when he rejected his support and instead pointed to another psychic beside him to go to the illusion.
Those seeds that were buried in the early days are all related to this person.
It’s all intentional.
The pupils hidden under the long hair contracted rapidly. The palpitations and cold sweat caused a dizziness. The man forced himself to steady his body, suppress the manic energy in his body, and think with his brain at a very fast speed.
Specific weapons, targeted attacks, their long-prepared plans are gradually being thwarted. If the leader knew about such a huge sin... No, even if the leader did not punish me, such a serious mistake would make it impossible for him to allow me to survive.
There was no time to think about how Bai Zhou got the information. The invisible ropes bound the man so tightly that he couldn't breathe. He could only think frantically about how to turn the situation around.
It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, he still has a trump card, even if the probability is only 20%, it is worth risking his life for it! I must act as if nothing has happened and not let these people know that I have discovered it!
The man suppressed the nausea in his chest and tried to raise his head to signal his companions.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the silent room. They were light, but they seemed to be stepping on his heart, deafening.
His vision was frozen, his whole body stiffening in place, and only out of the corner of his eye could he catch a glimpse of the ground.
The footsteps stopped in front of him.
For a moment, it seemed as if all eyes were focused here.
"What's wrong? You look so flustered." A familiar smiling voice sounded beside my ear. The person came and stood still. It was clearly a question, but he seemed to know what I was talking about. "Are you feeling unwell?"
The distance is very close.
The close one can stab into the opponent's heart.
If he self-destructs now, the black fog will be the first to swallow him up.
The man couldn't hear Bai Ri's questions for a moment, and the only sound he could hear was the sound of his rapid heartbeat.
He slowly raised his eyes, and through the heavy hair, he met the man's gaze. After the great joy and sorrow, he felt strangely calm.
Daytime.
On the screen, some cultists died miserably under all kinds of gazes, while the righteous side still did not lose a single person.
No news has been received. So far, not even a single psychic has been taken away successfully, and instead, some have suffered casualties. If we continue, perhaps all the superpowers will be rescued. We are not here to become a joke and bring shame to the leader.
All this is because...
"Daytime."
The man spat out these two words word by word, raised his head expressionlessly, and was so angry that he almost bit his teeth and swallowed them.
It was clearly a tone that implied murderous intent, but when the young man in front of him heard it, it was as if he had heard something extremely funny. The smile on his lips widened, and he responded indifferently.
"You look very angry." Bai Zhou said softly. Contrary to the smile on his lips, his dark eyes were calm and indifferent, revealing a sense of death for no reason. This beautiful face had a strange sense of fragmentation.
The young man smiled, not caring about the danger of the distance. He just tilted his head slightly and asked curiously:
"Now that you've guessed it, do you want to play the interview game again?"
"Answer the questions honestly. If I'm in a good mood, I might let you live to the end, and witness the demise of the 'great' organization and the so-called..."
The tail sound was barely audible and dissipated into the air after it came out. Only the man closest to it could hear it clearly.
There was a sudden harsh sound of the floor rubbing against each other, and the people around screamed in panic. The wind blew up the thick hair, revealing the hideous face underneath.
In just a moment, almost in the next second, you can hear the sound of a body exploding, and then it will be annihilated in the air as the body falls heavily to the ground.
The room seemed to tremble, and a buzzing sound resounded. The effect of the supernatural props was activated at the critical moment, consuming all the energy and suppressing all threats in the space. Then, the employee who was ready for action stepped forward and overpowered the man, pressing him face down on the ground.
Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs was choked and spurted out, black mist surged wildly in the body, and under the suppression, it was firmly bound in the narrow body, unwilling to calm down.
The balance was broken, and the man's facial features were slightly distorted under the impact. He cursed the day with inarticulate words, and tears of blood and distorted tones were mixed in his mouth.
The next moment, his face was kicked hard to the side, and the words he was about to say were cut off. His teeth loosened and fell into his mouth, mixing with the blood, and his head was buzzing.
Bai Zhou slowly retracted his legs and lowered his eyes, watching the employee forcefully stuff the cloth into the man's mouth to block out those extremely vicious words, leaving only one bloodshot eye still staring at him.
He looked down in silence for a moment, and then he smiled gently, no longer paying attention to the loser's futile struggle, nor the strange looks of his colleagues behind him. He just waved to Ke Yan who was watching quietly on the side, and said lightly:
"See, I didn't lie to you, did I? Here comes the research subject that came to my doorstep."
